Verdict
Honkytonktennessee has the ability to have a big say if running to form, while Almost Gemini and the Donald McCain-trained pair Danceintothelight and Craig Star are others with claims. However, CAPE OF GLORY is a youngster with a future and having had a sighter in handicap company, today might just be his day.
